Some of you mentioned it's fake, but when I bought the car the guy said it was a revolution kit...how would I know? Thanks.

R.U. IN AW?

Hey "REVO",


Don't take it to heart. If you were like me before I even knew that "CL" existed, I would have done the same thing. The "Revo" kit is a knock off of the "WIN" kit and of course I'm sure you would know this by now. The Win kit has badges on it to show it is original. I believe that that's the only way to know. Other then that you really couldn't tell. This has been brought up before, but no one really gave a distinct way to know the difference between the two. You know the saying "people always have something to talk about". Is it out of jealousy? I think so. So all you haters out there give the man some props, at least he had the gonnads to say it was a "Revo" and not lie about it. Actually I think your car looks really tight. Why are you selling the aftermarket pieces anyways?

Hey, Revo.
Listen I don't know how to tell
if the kit is fake or not. But I
just wanted to second what RU-INAW
said. Don't take it to heart, bro.
I mean if your car looks great, runs
good, then as far as I'm concerned
you've got a hot ride. That's all man.
A lot of people do hate too much, you know.
Pay them no mind. And your baby looks tight.
Regards.

One factor that can set fake and real is their quality. I'm talking the fittment of the bodykit, and the strength of the bodykit (fake one tends to be a lot weaker cuz maybe they didn't coat enough protection stuff on it). But you don't have a real one to compare, I guess it's hard to distinguish those two.

But as far as I can see on your pic, the kit seems to fit perfectly.

well at least the seller didn't lie.... it's the REAL revolution kit....... but revolution kit is a knock-off kit to start with.

But like everyone said, it looks nice and I wouldn't worry about it now.

Another way you can tell a Japanese authentic vs. knockoff is there is a raised line at the ends of the kit (ex. front bumper...there will be lines where the front tires meet the kit). I found this out with my Gracer Lip I just put on.

My friend, who owns a body shop, asked me if I wanted to sand the lines(it is near where you bolt the lip to the front bumper) down or not. It was then he told me that Japan kits usually have that marking due to the fact their bodykit molding process uses a front/rear mold for each part hence the excellent, closest to stock, fit on their products..........

By the way, your car looks dope!!!!!!! Keep it the way it is........

No worry, your ***** looks tight...you know there's always going to be haters out there...

RevoGS400,
One thing you will find on this site is alot of brand loyalty, and an affinity for the high-end brands. We do drive high dollar cars, so it make some sense not to put crap on them. However, it alway comes down to how happy you are with the product.
If the kit fits well and holds up to most abuse, I say more power to ya. I personally like mesh wheels, and the one I like the most happens to be made by Konig (a knock off company). So my dilemma... do I buy what I like or what is accepted? We'll see how well I take my own advice in the future.

Manaray

Hey Mumbles, if Konig makes it, then that menas that there is a REAL one out there...which one is it?

mumbles

manaray,
It's the Imagine, mesh style. I've looked at the Work Rezax and the A/X Type M, both of which I like, but the style/coloration of the Imagine just appeals to me more... just a personal preferance thing really.
